User Picks, Is it an epidemic?

You dont want to hear the "dont throw bad passes" response because you want to hear that it's not your fault and somehow EA's...

Improved defense means less routes open and you cant pass to a wide open slant route because zone d isnt terrible anymore like in NCAA 11.

Stop throwing bad passes

An Ohio State fan that knows about the quarterback position and is still playing? Wow.

Yea, an Ohio State fan who uses a Freshman QB with no accuracy throwing not many picks on Heisman...

Low blow!

Yeah, I'm readjusting to the defense as well. Passing windows that were open in NCAA 11 are now shutting down faster in NCAA 12.

Gonna have to have a QB/recruit QB's with arm strength and accuracy who can make all the throws...low throws, high throws...throws to the back shoulder on out routes etc...

This is very similar to the thread yesterday where someone was complaining there were too many pick 6's. They threw six INT's and all were returned by the CPU. However, they refused to acknowledge that throwing 6 INT's was their first issue.

Saying I'm throwing too many interceptions, but don't dare mention it's my decision making is like saying I shot myself in the foot, but don't dare mention it's due to me carrying a gun.

I played a game vs my brother yesterday and he was like, "why is the interception slider at 35?!?" -- and then we played a perfectly balanced game with a couple of interceptions and it worked out great.

I thought that in online user games that the sliders were always default? If they are not then it is an easy fix for OD's.

I am not asking for excuses and I am not making any. I don't care to hear it because it's not a response that adds any intelligent substance to the topic.

Back on topic, in '12 you absolutely cannot thrown it anywhere near a defender in user games because of the high rate of interceptions. It will take some adjusting to. I really enjoy the game and the improvements, I may end up liking this though because it really puts an emphasis on utilizing the running game in user games, unlike '11.

The high rate of interceptions in user games was the one thing that really stood out to me compared to last years game.
